  • Wild stat makes rising Raiders star one of the NRL's most lethal weapons

    Owen Pattie's hard work paid off, achieving five 40/20s in 35 NRL games, showcasing his exceptional talent.

    The Canberra Times

    Most people can't get off the park quick enough during a cold Canberra winter, but Owen Pattie "puts in the hours after training" - and this wild stat shows the work is paying off for one of the NRL's most lethal weapons.

    Two pinpoint 40/20s in a win over Canterbury mean Pattie has now booted five in the first 35 games of his NRL career. Just two players have nailed more in that same career span - former Newcastle halfback Scott Dureau (nine) and ex-South Sydney livewire Chris Sandow (six).

    Two players have a share of third place with Pattie on the list revealed by social media's "Random Stats Guy" - former St George Illawarra halfback Brett Firman, and ex-Raiders hooker Josh Hodgson.

    But the figures that separate Pattie from the rest of the pack? The 22-year-old has started in just five of those games, and he has spent more than 40 minutes on the park just five times - but now the Raiders are reaping the rewards of Ricky Stuart's call to develop Pattie in NSW Cup at the start of the season.

    Fox League

    The Raiders' terrific start to the NRLW season rolls on with the Green Machine recording a 42-16 win against a talented Warriors side.

    Canberra dominated from the outset, scoring four tries in the first 20 minutes to race out to a 18-0 lead at home.

    The Warriors trimmed the margin to 12 soon after but after the half time break, it was all one way traffic, with the Raiders inflicting further pain on the visitors.

    Canberra are now two for two following a 20-4 win over St. George-Illawarra in the opening round. At the end of round 2, the Raiders sit second behind the all-conquering Broncos.

    Meanwhile, the new-look Warriors were served a reality check after an impressive win in Round 1.
